RE: Unzipping and FTP

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Justin, this works in many situations, but not all. Some systems will be
set up so that a user's current directory (see user profile) is the home
directory, and this forces NAMEFMT 1. You can't use library/object format
in this case. And you can't change to NAMEFMT 0 until you CD to a library,
using IFS pathname format. Oy!

Just a cautionary word.

Alison, I hope this vendor is not us. We have customers send things to US
from time to time, and our system is set up as above. But this sounds like
installing something, right, on your system? Did their support folks not
help you?

Cheers

Vern
